When Jesus heard this, He got up and told them a story about a man and his two sons. In this story, the younger son went to his father and demanded his inheritance. The young man used up all his wealth on wild living. After coming to the end of himself, he realized he had sinned against his father. He also realized that his father's hired servants were better off than he was. So he went back home with the intention for asking his dad's forgiveness and asking to be taken on as a servant. But when he got close enough to home to be seen, his father ran to him, embraced him, and made a celebration for his safe return. In telling us this, Jesus gives us a glimpse of God's great love for His prodigal children.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

In this Bible Story, we learn about the true meaning of kindness from the story of the good Samaritan. Jesus uses this story to teach that goodness does not always come from the perfect people, rather those that we may least expect. This story is inspired by Luke 10:25-37. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is Luke 10:37 from the King James Version.Episode 201: On another day of walking and teaching a lawyer came up to Jesus asking about eternal life. Wanting to justify himself he responded to Jesus' answer by asking Him who counts as a neighbor. To illustrate His point, Jesus told the lawyer a story about an Israelite man who was robbed, beaten, and left for dead. Nobody who should have helped this man, actually helped him. Instead, a Samaritan, hated by the Jews, picked him up, bandaged his wounds, and brought him to an inn to be taken care of. The next question Jesus asks challenges both the lawyer and us to think about what it means to be a neighbor.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

We've all been given gifts. We've been given talents, resources, and opportunities. What have you done with those gifts? Have you invested time and passion, or have you hidden them from the world?

In this Bible Story, Jesus gives an intense illustration about the true meaning of forgiveness and mercy through a servant and his master.

There was no way the servant could pay so he begged the King to spare him and the King forgave him his debt. But later, that same servant went out and found someone who owed him a very small amount of money. When the man begged for mercy, the servant had him thrown into prison. When the King found out about this, the servant who had his large debt forgiven was sent to be tormented in prison until his debt was paid.

I can be blessed by the gifts of the Spirit in your life. I can be a recipient of your kindness, love, and mercy. I can benefit from your faith… But I can't borrow it. Today's story is controversial. The Parable of The Ten Vigins. As we take a good look at the Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1–13), we must acknowledge up front that there has been much debate as to the meaning. At least one aspect of this parable can be known with absolute certainty — The bridegroom is Jesus, and this parable describes His return.

In this Bible Story, Jesus speaks of generosity through the story of a glutinous rich man and a poor beggar.

When they died, it was Lazarus, the poor beggar, that was in the home of Abraham enjoying the good things he missed out on in life, while the rich man was in Hades tormented by hunger and thirst. Though the rich man begged Abraham to send Lazarus to warn his family about this, he refused saying they have The Word of God already to warn them, if they don't listen to this, they won't listen to anything else.Hear the Bible come to life as Pastor Jack Graham leads you through the official BibleinaYear.com podcast.

Nobody knows the day or the hour. Jesus could come in an instant. Will you be caught flat-footed? This parable is told in response to Peter's question, “What will happen at the end, and what will be the sign of your coming?” Jesus tells this story to address something more important than a date or time. He tells this parable to address our hearts. What will be our posture when Jesus returns? Will we be found as faithful and effective disciples? Or, like this servant, will we be caught flat-footed, indulging in selfish desires and mistreating the people around us?

What is ‘fairness' according to God? Does God give a certain amount of favor to those who work the longest? Does God pick favorites? If you work harder, longer, and on more things, does it mean God will give you a special reward above others? This parable is only found in the gospel of Matthew. Jesus tells this story in response to Peter's question in Matthew 19:27: "We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?" Peter wanted to know what reward would be given to those who give up everything to follow Jesus. In response, Jesus explains this truth about the kingdom of heaven. You'd expect those who worked the longest to get the largest portion. That's how it works in a worldly economy. But when it comes to salvation, grace, and inheriting the Kingdom, Jesus weighs with a different scale.

We've all been told money isn't everything. Most of us would nod our heads and agree. But do we live like that's true? Today, we delve into a story that Jesus told, not just as a parable but as a sobering reminder of the eternal consequences of our earthly choices. Join me as we examine the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus, a narrative that challenges us to live lives marked by compassion, faith, and a forward-looking gaze toward eternity. Some commentators say that this isn't a parable at all, but an actual account of two men with vastly different fates. Either way, this story is complex, and hard to wrestle with.

Sooner or later, we all must give an account to God for what He's entrusted to us. The question is: will we be shrewd, creative, and industrious with what we have, or will we have a lazy and unurgent attitude toward life? This parable is often considered one of the most difficult to understand. Why? Because Jesus uses a villain as an example of what to do. The tale of the Shrewd Manager is a morally fuzzy story. But if we dig deep enough, there will be heavenly meaning for us and lessons on how to treat the resources God has entrusted to us.

In this Bible Story, Jesus speaks hard truths about being the bread of life. He speaks of how he was sent by God from heaven, and whoever eats his flesh and drinks his blood would inherit eternal life. Although Jesus spoke metaphorically, his words cause many to leave. However the disciples stayed, for they knew that only Jesus held the words of eternal life. This story is inspired by John 6:22-71 & Matthew 15:21-28 & Mark 7:24-30.

The teaching was too hard for many of those in the crowd to accept, so they left.

The Kingdom of Heaven doesn't care if you're rich, poor, tall, short, introverted, or extroverted. The Kingdom of Heaven is for those who joyfully accept the invitation. Today's story is about a Kingdom. The King, excited to celebrate his son, invites all the nobles and merchants to come to the wedding. When they reject his offer, the King extends the invitation to others. This kind of story might seem mundane on the surface, but it was SCANDELOUS at the time. Jesus is about to blow people's minds and reveal a revolutionary truth: you can't be grandfathered into the kingdom of God. You have to accept the invitation and move.

What if tomorrow isn't promised? What if today is all you had? How seriously would you take your faith, then? This parable was told by Jesus as a warning to anyone who says, “I'll take my faith seriously once I _______.” That sentence can be filled with a myriad of different things. “I'll take my faith seriously when I finish college.” “I'll take my faith seriously once I have a career.” The truth is, we don't know when our time will come. The time we have here on this earth is precious, and what a waste it turns out to be if we take all this time pursuing material wealth over spiritual riches Go to JesusPodcast.com and receive daily devotionals about Jesus.Today's Bible verse is Mark 16:6 from the King James Version.Download the Pray.com app for more Christian content including, Daily Prayers, Inspirational Testimonies, and Bedtime Bible Stories.Pray.com is the digital destination for faith.

If that doesn't force us to seek humility, I don't know what will… The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, as narrated by Jesus, pierces through the facade of righteousness to reveal the profound truth of God's grace.
